[0025] The connecting bearing housing 8 has a bearing hole, and the deep groove ball bearing 9 is installed in the bearing hole on the connecting bearing housing 8. The deep groove ball bearing 9 is adapted to the bearing hole.
[0026] Two sets of mounting bases 10 are symmetrically mounted on the outer wall of the outer cover 7. Each set of mounting bases 10 has mounting holes. The outer cover 7 and the connecting bearing seat 8 are connected and fixed by multiple mounting bolts 11, which are arranged in a ring array.
[0027] Support plates are installed at both ends of the outer cover 7. Both support plates are connected and fixed to both ends of the outer cover 7 by multiple fixing bolts. Sealing rings are installed in the inner holes of the support plates.
[0028] The left end structure consists of several parts, including a friction plate assembly, a drive shaft 1, a component mounting bushing 2, a deep groove ball bearing 3, a connecting bolt 4, a clutch 5, and a flat key 6. The friction plate assembly is snapped onto the support plate, and one end of the friction plate assembly passes through the sealing ring and extends into the outer cover 7.

[0030] The deep groove ball bearing 3 is installed in the bearing hole on the component mounting sleeve 2. One end of the drive shaft 1 extends into the component mounting sleeve 2 and passes through the deep groove ball bearing 3. The component mounting sleeve 2 is snapped onto the electromagnetic coil and connected by the connecting bolt 4.
[0031] The right-end structure is identical to the left-end structure and is connected to the middle structure using the same connection method.
[0032] The normally closed dual-control clutch brake uses a 24V DC power supply to control the disengagement and engagement of the power transmission. It engages when energized and disengages when de-energized, and the engagement / disengagement action can be performed during high-speed rotation; the single friction plate structure is suitable for dry environments.
[0033] The working principle of the normally closed dual-control clutch brake provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0034] First step: When the electromagnetic coil of clutch 5 is not energized, the return spring applies a return force to clutch 5 through the buffer groove, so that clutch 5 is tightly engaged with the friction plate group and is in a braking state. At this time, the rotation of the transmission shaft 1 is transmitted to the friction plate group through the flat key 6, which in turn drives the mounting bushing 2 and the load component on both sides to rotate synchronously.
[0035] Second step: Taking the left end as an example, when the electromagnetic coil of the left end clutch 5 is energized, the electromagnetic force overcomes the spring force of the reset spring, attracts the clutch 5 and disengages it from the friction plate group, the power connection between the left end friction plate group and the transmission shaft 1 is disconnected, the left end load component stops rotating, the right end clutch 5 remains de-energized, and the right end friction plate group is linked with the transmission shaft 1 through the flat key 6, driving the right end load component to rotate normally. Conversely, when the right end is energized alone, the same principle is used to achieve single-sided separation control.
[0036] Third step: When the electromagnetic coils of the left and right clutches 5 are energized at the same time, both clutches 5 disengage from the friction plate group, and the power connection between the transmission shaft 1 and the load components on both sides is disconnected, achieving synchronous stopping. When the electromagnetic coils on both sides are de-energized at the same time, the return spring pushes the clutch 5 to reset, and the friction plate group on both sides re-engages with the transmission shaft 1, driving the load components to rotate synchronously.
[0037] Fourth step: Deep groove ball bearing 3 and deep groove ball bearing 9 support the drive shaft 1 and the connecting bearing housing 8 respectively, ensuring low frictional resistance and stability during high-speed rotation. The sealing ring and the support plate prevent dust and oil from entering the inner casing 7, ensuring reliable operation of the friction plate assembly in a dry environment.
